Recipe for Duck Breast with Cherries

Preparation of the ingredients. Start by preheating your oven to 90°C. Partially trim the fat from the duck breasts and score the remaining layer of fat.

Cooking duck breasts In a hot skillet, sear the duck breasts skin-side down for 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Flip the duck breasts and cook for another minute. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place in the oven to keep warm.

Preparation of the cherry sauce: Lightly degrease the pan and add the previously washed, stemmed, and pitted cherries. After 3 minutes of cooking, add the honey and allow to caramelize. Deglaze the pan with red wine vinegar and pour in the brown stock. Let simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat.

Slice the duck breasts lengthwise and coat the slices with the prepared cherry sauce. Season with freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, accompanied by sautéed potatoes or mashed potatoes.
